Mr. T Cereal hit grocery stores in 1984, capitalizing on the success of actor/wrestler Laurence Tureaud's Mr. T Character. Mr. T had become recognizable to most Americans through his roles in Rocky III (1982) and The A-Team (1983-1987). His kid-friendly persona was strengthened though guest appearances on Silver Spoons (1982), Diff'rent Stokes (1983) and Alvin and the Chipmunks (1983).

Mr. T Cereal was a "Crispy Sweet Corn And Oats Cereal" that tasted somewhat similar to Cap'N Crunch. The cereal pieces were shaped like the letter "T". Commercials for the cereal used the catch-phrases, "Teaming up with Mr T. (Cereal)... It's cool" and "I pity the fool who don't eat my cereal".

The cereal made a a memorable appearance in the 1985 film, Pee Wee's Big Adventure in a scene where the character Pee Wee Herman poured cereal over pancakes and eggs while impersonating Mr. T's signature "pity the fool" line.

Mr. T was born in 1952, making him about 32 years old when his cartoon persona first appeared on the Mr. T. Cereal box. The animated character also appeared in its own TV series on NBC in 1983. The cartoon series "Mr. T" lasted only 30 episodes.

Please bring this cereal back. And not for a limited time. Every time I go to the store, I will buy a box. I love this cereal and grew up on this cereal. They are the o.g. Cap'n Crunch.

Please... bring Mr. T's cereal back to us! My brother and I loved this cereal when we were kids. Mr. T is a beloved idol of mine and it would be awesome to see this for a limited time. Kids today are indeed missing out on a lot of wholesome great stuff that we had available back then,when everything was made with love. A lot of you would agree with me when I say: I pity Quaker if it doesn't bring back Mr T's cereal to us!

This cereal was awesome when I was a kid. Who didn't sit around the table at breakfast doing their best I Pity The Fool Who... Remember when Sugar Bear got strong after eating Super Golden Crisp? Lol cereal is so disappointing since then. They should do a retro run of all the old TV cereals for a year. They would make billions.

This was nothing but a different version of Captain Crunch. But, since it's Mr. T... I loved it!
